KEEFEKTIVAN EKSTRAK KASAR UMBI GADUNG (Dioscorea hispida Dennst) TEHADAP MORTALITAS LARVA RAYAP (Coptotermes curvignathus)

Abstract

Tujuan penlitian ini untuk mengetahui: (1) perbedaan mortalitas larva rayap (Coptotermes curvignathus) akibat pemberian variasi konsentrasi ekstrak kasar umbi gadung (Dioscorea hispida); (2) konsentrasi yang paling efektif terhadap mortalitas larva rayap (Coptotermes curvignathus); dan (3) konsentrasi yang efektif dapat mematikan 50% larva rayap (Coptotermes curvignathus) berdasarkan Lethal Concentration. Jenis penelitian ini adalah true experimental dengan desain penelitian Randomized Post Test Only Control Group Design. Perbedaan konsentrasi ekstrak kasar umbi gadung (Dioscorea hispida) yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah 0%, 25%, 50%, dan 75%. Sampel yang digunakan adalah larva rayap (Coptotermes curvignathus) berjumlah 600 ekor. Data mortalitas larva rayap dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji statistik Kruskal Wallis. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa: (1) terdapat perbedaan mortalitas larva rayap (Coptotermes curvignathus) akibat pemberian variasi konsentrasi ekstrak kasar umbi gadung (Dioscorea hispida); (2) Konsentrasi yang paling berpengaruh terhadap mortalitas larva rayap (Coptotermes curvignathus) adalah konsentrasi 25%; dan (3) Konsentrasi efektif yang dapat mematikan 50% larva rayap (Coptotermes curvignathus) berdasarkan Lethal Concentration adalah konsentrasi 31,34%.

The purpose of this research to know: (1) difference of termite larvae (Coptotermes curvignathus) mortality due to variation of concentration of crude extract of dioscorea tuber (Dioscorea hispida); (2) the most effective concentrations to mortality of larvae termites (Coptotermes curvignathus); and (3) the effective concentration kill 50% termite larvae (Coptotermes curvignathus) based on Lethal Concentration. This research type is true experimental with research design Randomized Post Test Only Control Group Design. The difference of concentration of crude extract of dioscorea tuber (Dioscorea hispida) used in this research was 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75%. The sample used is larvae termites (Coptotermes curvignathus) of 600 tail. Mortality of larvae termite were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis statistical test. The results of this study show that: (1) there is a difference in mortality of larvae of termite (Coptotermes curvignathus) due to variation concentration of crude extract of dioscorea tuber (Dioscorea hispida); (2) the most effective concentration to mortality of larvae termites (Coptotermes curvignathus) is 25% concentration; and (3) the effective concentration kill 50% larvae of termites (Coptotermes curvignathus) based on Lethal Concentration is 31,34% concentration.
